Discussion: Jimmy Carter & Elliott Abrams - The obstacles to a two-state solution

Following The Elders's visit to the Middle East in August, President Carter wrote in The Washington Post about the obstacle posed to a two-state solution by Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Elliott Abrams, a senior fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations who served as a deputy national security adviser in the George W. Bush administration, contested his viewpoint.
